RMHCThe Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” for families whose children are receiving care at any medical facility in South Florida. More than 650 family members stay at our Houses every year. Families come from throughout South Florida and the Caribbean.

We are able to serve 47 families per night at our two facilities – At Broward Health in Fort Lauderdale and at Jackson Memorial in Miami.
Families are asked to pay $20 per night. No family is turned away because of an inability to pay. Income is not a criterion for staying at our House; families of all income levels benefit from the caring, supportive atmosphere and services.

Actual costs to the Ronald McDonald House are more than $85 per room per night. The Ronald McDonald House is open 365 days a year and staffed 24 hours a day for the comfort and safety of our guests. There are more than 300 Ronald McDonald Houses in more than 30 countries. The first Ronald McDonald House was built in Philadelphia in 1974. The Miami Ronald McDonald House opened in August 17, 1982. The Fort Lauderdale Ronald McDonald House opened on May 11, 2004.

Ronald McDonald House Charities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed for the purpose of raising funds for and increasing awareness of the Ronald McDonald Houses in South Florida. A volunteer Board of Directors, committed to the House’s mission, ensures effective organizational planning and has oversight responsibilities for the financial operations of the organization.

In addition to the staff, more than 900 volunteers annually perform an array of needed tasks and services, all of which benefit the families we serve.

The Ronald McDonald House relies 100% on donations to operate our program to help families in need and we are thankful for the generosity of others who provide in-kind and monetary support. 100% of all donations directly benefit the houses in South Florida!
